Abstract:
A mounting body of evidence suggests that the endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response are involved in the underlying mechanisms responsible for vascular diseases. Inositol-requiring protein 1α (IRE1α), the most ancient branch among the UPR-related signaling pathways, can possess both serine/threonine kinase and endoribonuclease (RNase) activity and can perform physiological and pathological functions. The IRE1α-signaling pathway plays a critical role in the pathology of various vascular diseases. In this review, we provide a general overview of the physiological function of IRE1α and its pathophysiological role in vascular diseases.
